Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a self - resetting precast assembled concrete pier with replaceable energy - dissipating shear members. Background Technique

[0002] In order to reduce the impact of bridge construction on the surrounding environment and traffic, improve the construction efficiency of river - crossing bridges, and realize the concept of rapid, green, and industrialized construction, in recent years, the factory precast and assembled rapid bridge construction technology has received extensive attention. The precast pier segments in the factory can not only provide high - quality construction speed for modern pier structures, but also achieve efficient connection on the basis of ensuring construction quality and mechanical properties. Therefore, the construction quality and mechanical property guarantee of the connection part are the key control points of the precast bridge construction technology. At present, the connection forms between precast concrete piers and caissons mainly include grouting sleeve connection, grouting corrugated pipe connection, slot - type connection, socket - type connection, and prestressed steel bar connection, etc. However, although these connection structures are relatively mature in the construction process, there are still problems such as difficult construction, hard - to - detect grouting quality, poor energy - dissipating ability under earthquake action, and difficulty in repair after earthquake damage. These problems lead to general deficiencies in the seismic performance of precast assembled piers.

[0003] Currently, the research on bridge seismic resistance is gradually developing in the direction of improving the recoverability of structural functions, and the seismic design concept has also shifted from traditional ductility design or seismic isolation and dissipation design to resilience - based seismic design. A resilience - based seismic bridge refers to a bridge structure that can maintain or quickly restore its service function without repair or with only minor repair after being affected by an earthquake. Resilience - based seismic bridges can adopt concepts such as rocking structures, self - resetting structures, replaceable components, etc., and combine measures such as new materials, new structures, new components, and new systems to reduce the permanent damage and residual deformation of the bridge structure after an earthquake, thereby shortening the repair and restoration time and quickly restoring the bridge function.

[0004] The replaceable component system installs replaceable shock - absorbing devices at appropriate component positions. During a strong earthquake, the replaceable components are sacrificed to reduce the post - earthquake damage of the main structure. However, from domestic and foreign research, the existing replaceable component systems, such as BRB - double - column piers, energy - dissipating coupling beams - double - column piers, etc., although they can effectively reduce the transverse seismic response, cannot solve other seismic problems except the transverse direction. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present utility model is to provide a self-centering precast assembled concrete pier with replaceable energy-dissipating shear members, which is equipped with replaceable energy-dissipating shear members and prestressing tendons for self-centering of the pier. The pier is simply designed with a clear force mechanism, ensuring that the pier column has sufficient strength, stiffness and energy-dissipating capacity. In addition, the pier also has the characteristics of being replaceable and quickly restorable after being damaged by a strong earthquake.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of the present utility model is: a self-centering precast assembled concrete pier with replaceable energy-dissipating shear members, including a bearing platform, a foundation groove for inserting the bottom of the precast RC pier is recessed at the top of the bearing platform, a pier bottom steel sleeve is coaxially sleeved outside the bottom of the precast RC pier, a steel base for abutting against the pier bottom steel sleeve is fixedly arranged at the top of the foundation groove, the centers of the steel base and the precast RC pier are vertically penetrated by prestressing tendons and both ends are anchored and fixed, an annular anchoring bottom steel plate is embedded on the surface of the bearing platform outside the foundation groove, and a plurality of shear members are fixedly arranged at intervals along the outer circumference of the pier bottom steel sleeve, and the lower ends of the shear members are all welded to the anchoring bottom steel plate; a rubber cushion block is padded along the inner circumferential wall of the anchoring bottom steel plate, and an annular bituminous hemp is arranged between the rubber cushion block and the pier bottom steel sleeve located in the foundation groove.

[0008] Further, the bituminous hemp is located below the welding end plate, and arc grooves for making way for the bituminous hemp are opened at the right-angled corners of the lower ends of the shear members.

[0009] Further, the anchoring bottom steel plate is embedded and fixed on the bearing platform through anchor bolts, and the top surface of the anchoring bottom steel plate is at the same level as the top surface of the bearing platform.

[0010] Further, a plurality of annular stiffening ribs are fixedly arranged at intervals along the vertical height direction of the inner wall of the pier bottom steel sleeve, and the annular stiffening ribs are cast integrally with the precast RC pier.

[0011] Further, the upper and lower ends of the prestressing tendons respectively penetrate through the precast RC pier and the steel base and are anchored at the ends through anchor ingots.

[0012] Further, the bottom of the pier bottom steel sleeve is in a concave arc shape, and the top of the steel base is also in a concave arc shape to cooperate with and abut against the pier bottom steel sleeve.

[0013] Further, a polytetrafluoroethylene plate is fixedly arranged on the arc surface of the top of the steel base.

[0014] Further, a gap is left between the bearing platform and the precast RC pier.

This design solves the problems of insufficient energy dissipation capacity of traditional precast assembled piers and difficulty in repair after an earthquake.
